'''Epanterias''' is a
genus of
theropod dinosaur described by
Edward Drinker Cope in
1878 [1]. ''Epanterias'' was a genus of
allosaur, and is considered by most paleontologists to be a species of ''
Allosaurus'' rather than a separate genus. ''Epanterias'' may have rivaled ''
Tyrannosaurus rex'' in size or exceeded it, with length estimates of around 13 or 14 meters.
[2].
It lived in the late Jurassic, in western North America. The
type species is ''Epanterias amplexus''.
